How We Build Your Auto Accident Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Northglenn auto and truck accident lawyers for people hurt in a car or truck crash. We get the Northglenn Police Department report, the HCA HealthONE North Suburban Medical Center records, and file in the Adams County Justice Center.
We start by understanding exactly what happened. We obtain the crash report from the Northglenn Police Department, collect photographs of vehicle damage and the accident scene, and gather statements from witnesses who saw the collision. We also review traffic-camera footage, business surveillance video, and any electronic data from the vehicles involved—including event-data-recorder information that can show speed, braking, and steering at the moment of impact. For commercial trucks, we pull inspection records, maintenance logs, and trucking company documentation to establish negligence or mechanical failure.
Once we have the facts, we identify every party responsible for the collision. That may include the other driver, the truck company, a commercial fleet operator, the vehicle manufacturer, or a combination of defendants. We then file a claim with the liable driver's insurance carrier and also explore your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. We document the full chain of responsibility so that you receive compensation from every available policy and source.
Evidence We Gather in Northglenn Auto and Truck Accidents
Strong evidence is the foundation of every claim. We collect driver conduct records—including prior violations, license status, and cell-phone records in distracted-driving cases—as well as blood-alcohol or chemical-test results in drunk-driving collisions. Vehicle damage patterns tell us the angle and force of impact. Police reports, witness accounts, and business or traffic camera video provide independent documentation of what occurred.
For truck accidents, we obtain commercial records such as dispatch logs, hours-of-service violations, maintenance schedules, and inspection certificates. Electronic data from onboard safety systems, dash cameras, and event recorders can show whether the driver was fatigued, speeding, or failing to brake. We also subpoena insurance policies and coverage limits to ensure every available resource is identified before settlement or trial.
Local investigations may involve Northglenn Police Department, evidence from 104th Avenue or 120th Avenue, and witnesses or businesses near the scene.
At a Northglenn accident scene or after, multiple sources of evidence become available. We pursue:
- Northglenn Police Department crash report and all supplemental reports
- Photographs of vehicle damage, accident scene, road conditions, and traffic signals
- Witness statements and contact information
- Medical records from HCA HealthONE North Suburban Medical Center or other treatment providers
- Event-data-recorder (EDR or "black box") download from vehicles involved
- Traffic-camera video from intersections on 104th Avenue, 120th Avenue, Washington Street, or I-25
- Business or security video from nearby properties
- Insurance declarations pages and policy limits from all liable parties
- Commercial motor-vehicle records, trucking logs, and maintenance files (if a truck is involved)
- Vehicle inspection reports and repair estimates
- Cell-phone records and dispatch data showing distracted or impaired driving
- Medical bills, wage-loss documentation, and continuing treatment plans
- Photos of injuries
We also identify whether the collision occurred on or near routes connecting Thornton, Westminster, Broomfield, Commerce City, or Denver, as jurisdiction and venue may affect discovery and trial preparation.
Medical Documentation and Injury Claims
Your medical care begins at HCA HealthONE North Suburban Medical Center or another emergency facility and continues through ongoing treatment. We obtain all emergency-room records, imaging studies, surgery reports, and specialist evaluations. We also coordinate with your medical providers to establish a clear link between the collision and your injuries, and to document your pain, limitations, and recovery timeline.
Medical records become central to proving the value of your claim. We work with your physicians to obtain detailed treatment notes, rehabilitation progress, imaging findings, and any permanent or long-term effects of the accident. We then use this documentation to calculate past medical expenses, future treatment costs, and the full scope of pain and suffering caused by the collision.

Northglenn Auto and Truck Accident Lawyers FAQ
Do I need Northglenn auto and truck accident lawyers after a crash?
Call Northglenn auto and truck accident lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The Denver office is in Denver, CO.
How much time do I have to file a claim after a Northglenn auto accident?
Colorado allows three years from the date of injury to sue for most motor-vehicle claims. However, if the accident involved a government vehicle or property, you may need to file written notice with the public entity within 182 days. Delaying can also hurt your ability to preserve evidence and witness memories. Contact us as soon as you can so we can protect your deadline.
What if the other driver doesn't have enough insurance to cover my injuries?
That's where uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage comes in. Your own auto policy may include UM/UIM limits that apply if the at-fault driver is uninsured or their liability limit is too low. We investigate all available insurance policies and pursue every source of recovery on your behalf.
How do you prove who was at fault in an intersection accident on 104th Avenue or 120th Avenue?
We use the Northglenn Police Department crash report, traffic-camera footage from the intersection, witness statements, vehicle damage patterns, and electronic data from vehicles (such as speed, braking, and steering inputs near impact). Medical evidence showing your injuries also supports liability. If a truck is involved, we obtain its electronic logs and maintenance records.
How much does it cost to hire McCormick & Murphy for my accident claim?
We handle auto and truck accident claims on a contingency fee basis. We earn an attorney fee only if your case is settled or won at trial. You do not pay our fee upfront. Advanced case costs—such as medical-record copying, accident reconstruction, and expert reports—are separate from the attorney fee and will be discussed with you before we incur them.
What should I do immediately after a crash on I-25 or a Northglenn street?
Call 911 if anyone is injured. Move to safety if possible. Get the other driver's name, phone, address, and insurance information. Take photos of vehicle damage, the scene, and injuries. Write down witness names and contact details. Do not admit fault or sign anything except for police or medical personnel. Seek medical care even if you feel fine—some injuries appear later. Then call us; we will guide you through the next steps and begin gathering evidence right away.
